"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

So I went to this party at my friend's spot tonight and then me and my boy went to the bars real quick. We got real nice there and went back to the party. We were having a good time there, and this girl pulled me in and was like "let's dance". I was like alright, so we started dancing. We got pretty close, I was feeling her legs and stuff and she moved my hands up cause her friends were around. Her friends went upstairs and she stayed with me. We danced some more then her friends came back and she said she was going to another party and someone was driving her. I asked "does that mean I cannot come?". She said "no...i don't know if we can fit all of us in the car". I was like "oh I see." But when she was leaving i grabbed her hand and she started leading me outside but let go of my hand when we had to cross a bunch of people. I let go and went outside with her but stayed on the porch with my friends. I tried to play hard to get and she left. Why did I **** up so bad? I just cannot pull through with a random hookup. Dammit!
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"Does that mean I cannot come?" shudder..
Grabbing her hand after knowing you won't be going with her? shudder..

It comes across as desperate, clingy.. weak..

Where exactly where you playing hard to get? ;o)

Care less next time - if she is going elsewhere, forget it. Stop right there before you make a fool of yourself.. you didn't even know the girl, why tag her so much worth/value right away? Surely there was other chicks at the party giving you looks.

Trouble is, if they had seen your behaivour toward her (the clingy needy part) they would of rejected you all night long after that performance. ..and they certainly wouldn't of missed it. They see everything!

P.S. I really didn't want to mention the part where you let her lead you off like a puppy just before she let go in front of a bunch of people..ouch that's gotta hurt!

P.P.S. Really, next time care less about some random chick you met at a party who was going elsewhere. Unfortunately it all seems so easy and makes so much more sense the morning after.

Agree 100% with musclyjerk! To be honest she sounds a bit of a cling-on too! Grabbing you to dance etc, seems she was just using you to pass the time. She most likely did the same at the other party with some other guy!
